Next message: Peter Fogg: "Re: LINEAR REGRESSION IN REVERSE"
Instructions for my plastic sextant use a 'noon sight'
example for obtaining a fix. Obtaining both longitude
and latitude by one simple process is alluring to me.
There are purists who scoff at imperfection and those, like
myself, who are not into nuance but are just trying to comprehend
basics. When I navigate accurately enough to sight a landmark
for my final approach, it's a success.
May I suggest a noon sight fix might suffice for verification
of the dead reckoning position required for a direction/intercept
fix? Might that fix actually be superior to a DR position that
hasn't been updated during a period of prolonged cloud cover?
